At BRAGMYBAG we love to talk about the latest handbags. You know what? Let’s talk about the latest handbag.

Have you been itching for a brand-new Chanel Mini Quilted Shoulder Bag? But can’t find the one you love? Or maybe the Wallet On Chain Bags are too small and the Extra Mini Classic Flap Bags are… uhh, too mini?

You need a bag that’s practical and it needs to be made from Chanel. You need a small travel bag?

Well then, we have some good news – meet the Chanel Mini Quilted Shoulder Bag.

These bags you purchase once, then it’s forever. We honestly think that this Mini Bag is ideal for travelling. Imagine an extra bag to store your passports, credit cards and other important documents. Because this bag is on your shoulder all the time, the chances of losing your stuff are minimized.

And unlike the Wallet on Chain Bag or the Extra Mini Classic Flap Bag, this Mini Bag is embellished with strong leather strap and also a boyish large chain. So pulling this bag from your shoulder is not a clever move.

The front is made with an extra zip pocket; it’s designed for your instant essentials.

If we look beyond the Classic Flap Bags, there more choices than we can handle. And some of the seasonal bags are even inspired by the Classic Bags, but lower priced.

Here are the Chanel Prestige Flap Bags, straight from the Spring Summer 2015 Collection. They are unusual flap bags with rigid handles. And a totally different design, which you will love, especially if you’re a Chanel collector.

The Chanel Prestige Flap Bag is purely made to help you put that ‘final touch’ to your casual outfit. It’s reined with silver hardware and comes in different colors. For those that love to be safe, the black one with burgundy handles is your ‘go’.

From day to night, for the weekends, the Prestige Flap Bag is a good choice. It looks even great in the winter, and this is the kind of bag you need – functional in all season!

As with almost all timeless Chanel bags, these are quilted too. The CC clasp is partly inspired by the boy bag. It has a nice feminine shape and oversized masculine chain for shoulder carry.

In our previous post we showcased a CHANEL boy bag of Joanne, she found her boy quilted flap bag at Printemps in Paris. Instead of black, she wisely chose the color blue, a new shade from the Cruise 2013 collection.

From all the Chanel boy bags, the classic quilted version is, in our opinion, one of the most coveted and hottest of them all. The CC signature can be found on the front flap, it’s specially crafted to represent the boy edition. The fine and detailed lining and the boyish appearance with the feminine touch, is what distinguish this bag from the rest. It’s literally obsessive.

Large and thick chains appear to be heavy, but they are not. The purpose is to make it look tough and stand-out, sling it around your shoulder to feel the impeccable craftsmanship. It’s totally different than the classic flap bag, much more cooler. Perhaps it’s a bit pricey, but the design is beautifully put together.

The Chanel boy bag will not go out-of-style anytime soon, in fact, they will keep their iconic status. Just like the classic flap bags, the boy editions will also get more expensive each year. In Europe they are usually sold-out, especially the black version. The boy bag will stay on the top as long as Chanel exists.

Joanne found her favorite Chanel boy quilted flap bag at Printemps in Paris: ‘It’s blue and I was told that it’s the cruise collection colour. I think they still have stocks at Galleries Lafayette. But I was also told that the black boy Chanel medium is always out of stock very quickly.

Our brains work in the most mysterious way; sometimes there is information stored that we should have forgotten already, because…

a). It’s not useful

b). I never wanted to remember it

It was something that one of my best friend Cindy said while we were still in College. It was after a nerve-racking presentation and we were obligated to wear a suit. Then Cindy said something like: ‘There is just something about a suit and it makes any guy looks good’.

But anyways, my point! There’s just something about ‘Quilted’ and it makes any designer bag looks good (well, most of them =)).

Presenting one of Proenza Schouler’s most famous bag and it’s, listen carefully…

Mini

Quilted

Classic

Three of our favorite ingredients combined in one accessory and it just give me the ‘chills’. And if you love it too, then your shopping spree must be kicking right now.

Presenting the Proenza SChouler Mini PS11 Classic Bag in black. The fold-over flap top is quilted with a button closure. It comes with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, you can hide the strap in the interior at night and change it in a quilted clutch, you know!

The inside is also very structured, with one interior zip pocket and a great empty space to store all your essentials. Oh yes, this bag holds shape!

Though we receive countless questions on daily basis, we have to admit that: ‘we do not have answer to everything’. But we try to do our best to help you purchase your dream bags.

For instance, this is a Chanel tote bag with modernized CC logo on the front. It’s a bag that one of our friends (Winni) has spotted while she was shopping in Europe. We do not know the style code, nor the exact prices or the sizes, but we’d know it exist and is now available at your local Chanel boutique.

But there is more to discuss about this new tote bag from the Fall Winter 2014 Collection. You see, the quilted exterior looks very similar to the Chanel Fever Tote Bag that has been launched in February 2014. The leather appearance is very lookalike, we belief its made from grained calfskin (actually we are almost certain it is).

The strap is stitched in the interior and it comes also with a zip compartment. Its available in two sizes and should be priced around $2,600 USD or €1.900 euro’s for the small/medium size and for $3,700 USD for the large size.

There is one more comment that we need to share with you, the leather of this tote bag, as well as the Chanel Fever Tote, are both quite similar to the newest Dior Panareau Tote Bag. Do you remember the Dior Panareau Tote Bag? Dior altered the design and released it on February/March 2014. Check it out at our previous post: ‘Dior New Panareau Tote Bag’.
